Hi guys, I'm in a dilema choosing between corsair sp2500 and swan m50w... Mainly used for gaming and movies, and some music...

I'm open to more suggestions ,preferably 2.1

Thx

Typical problem with this speaker system. Similar problem as this one: Special Interest -> Home Entertainment -> Audiophiles -> Speaker static sound which besides the "static" sound, one of the channels sometimes have no sound at all. Anyway, that was not the first unit I've worked on...

How small are you looking for? Do note that small speakers simply do not sound big nor have much impact/impression. About fitting under that Dell 24" monitor, how much free space does your computer desk have?

Between the two, the better choice would probably be Swan M50W....

Among the SWAN HIVI, what is recommended? Which would be better choice for movies and music? Im quite interested in the M200MKIII, T200B, H5 or X series.

How much do it cost(approx) to repair the control pad? Need to know whether it is worth to repair or buy new speakers.

Can recommend me some good speaker for techno music and games? Budget is around rm200. Thanks in advance~

Have not heard these yet, thus unable to comment. Just check them out, and if possible audition/test them at a showroom and see which one suits your preference...

No exact cost yet as need to determine the source of the problem first. As with this speaker system, usually the most common source of problems is the potentiometer for volume control and stereo input socket for audio input. Usually will not be a 3 digit sum (under RM100) if the source of the problems are those that I've mentioned. The only time it will cost more, is if for example one of the power amplifier I.Cs failed/blown. Just PM me for detailed information.

Techno music? You may want to look at Altec Lansing range of speakers, such as Altec Lansing VS4621, for boomboxes. Otherwise you could also check out both Edifier M3400 or Edifier M3300SF...

other than the ones that I have mentioned. Any other recommendation? My room is about 2.6m x 2.5m x 3.3m. Its not very big, so I think 2.0 or a 2.1 system should suffice. Budget is up to RM1500. Will I need any soundcard or additional accessories?

Im currently using using a pair of H4 with a H10, and trust me, this are DEFINITELY all rounders
They sound good for music, movies, games...hard to not like it, seriously. I would suggest you to go audition it at Cyntrix Tech shop at Puchong.

Wow, awesome setup. thats already a 3k setup isnt it? hahaha.. Need 1 year to save that kind of cash

need a recommendation for 2.1 PC speakers.

main purpose for music
2nd movie
last game

preferred budget 200-350
more than that is ok, under 1k, but will considere truly very super seriously.
as I own krk roki 6 g2 edi, but not suit for pc daily use

currently what i targeted is edifier hsc2330 or c2x
will get c2x most probably but is there any more better choices?

I would recommend you to get the H5s first, then maybe in a few months get the H10? The H series is very flexible

It was definitely worth the 3k though

Check out Audioengine A5+

If you are on the lower end of the budget, then I would suggest Edifier Studio 7 (a.k.a Edifier R2700) or Edifier Studio 8 (a.k.a Edifier R2800) for active 2.0 speaker systems though both are pretty powerful at more than 100WRMS. Above that you may want to consider either HiVi Swans M50W, Edifier S530D or Edifier S730 (added Edifier as they are more widely available), which will be pretty loud also considering the small size of your room...

If below RM300 then that would be either Edifier M3300SF (best for music) or Edifier M3400. Above RM300 that would be Edifier HCS2330, and if can stretch to RM400+ then its Edifier C3. As for that Edifier C2X, can refer to this review: Special Interest -> Home Entertainment -> Audiophiles -> Edifier C2X review, (honest review/opinion) editied extras (PC Audio)...

I did consider S730 before, but then not into heavy bass songs anymore. With the C3, my room is already vibrating with such songs. Haha. I want something for orchestral/instrumental type of music. Does the quality (both sound and material used) varies much between the brands?

What is the brand/model of your current speaker system? As for that cable, which one? Is it the right speaker cable, or the audio cable? For speaker repairs then can try me (just PM me if interested) though I'm located in KL area.

Given the genre of the music then I would suggest/recommend either Edifier Studio 7 (a.k.a Edifier R2700) or Edifier Studio 8 (a.k.a Edifier R2800) active 2.0 speaker system...

Im using this model, right speaker is the 1 with volume control 1.

Google search shows that this type of speaker is glued, can't be open easily... need brute force

You may want to look at the HiVi range such as the Swans M200 range. And alternatively you may want to consider an integrated amplifier with bookshelf speakers (pretty much mix and match)...

Looks like Logitech S-100. Methinks its time to replace these tiny speakers. Any 2.1 speaker system would sound a lot better than your current speakers...

There's a high possibility of internal broken wire inside the plug and/or at the neck of the plug (where the cable joins the plug). Just cut it off and solder a new 3.5mm stereo plug.

Notice that front grill? Remove that first and you should find some screws holding down the driver and access to the internal hardware inside the casing...

You can try out Edifier e25 and e20.
